Gathering Ideas

Look at the illustrations and the Damaged Forests resource. In groups: explore the images, and imagine that you are there.

• What can you see, hear and feel around you in this environment?
• How do you feel about this place?
• What do you notice about this environment?
• How has this environment changed? How does this make you feel?
• What have the Giants done? What would you say to them if you could?
• What do you wish this environment could be like?
• What are you hoping for?

Drama Opportunity: Hot Seating

In pairs - consider how Greta would feel?

One child: act as Greta. One child: act as an interviewer asking Greta questions. Then swap roles.

*Let's add some words and phrases to the flipchart/working wall.
